hollerg Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 When I opened up a wall I was surprised to find an unsealed rectangular cut-out in the slab, that contained both copper and plastic pipe passing up through the wall sill plate . Please direct me to a picture or description of how this is sealed to meet the southern building code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Sounds like a standard water service entrance cut out. Put a foam sleeve around each pipe and fill the cut out with cement. Or, just leave it. It's mildly sloppy, but it's not uncommon. I suppose rodents could use it to enter the house; maybe it's best to close it up.
